Mineral Magic Cosmetics Giveaway Time!!

2:28 PM

Hey guys and gals! Guess what time it is? It's giveaway time and the star of the show is Mineral Magic Cosmetics, a fantastic mineral makeup company that specializes in vegan, titanium-free, paraben-free makeup that is perfect for keeping your skin clear, healthy and glowing.

I showed you all a ton of eyeshadow swatches and a few looks using Mineral Magic before, but I wanted to also mention that they have a great selection of brushes. MMC also has a fantastic instructional cd that has so much great information on how to apply minerals and what exactly is in Mineral Magic Cosmetics and WHY. I know many of you out there feel very strongly about using products that are not only not harmful to the environment but not harmful to our skin, but for those of you out there who are clueless about cosmetic ingredients, the CD holds a wealth of knowledge about what we should and shouldn't put on our skin in a practical and healthy way.

I want you guys to know that nobody is paying me to say this or told me what to say whatsoever, I really just do think this is a great company. I appreciate quality products coming from small companies since they seem to care more about the customer than big businesses. Since I was so excited about her company, Kellie was very enthusiastic about sending me a TON of great goodies to give away! Totally generous, right?

That's totally amazing stuff here and I can't wait for someone to win this stuff! So let's get to the rules. READ CAREFULLY BECAUSE I WILL CHECK!

1. Comment in this post and tell me why you'd like to win 2. Officially follow the blog3. Follow frmheadtotoe on Twitter (write twitter name in comment)4. Post about this giveaway on your blog, facebook, youtube vid, somewhere to spread the word (write url in comment)5. Leave your name and e-mail in the comments6. (added 8/19) Kellie has also asked to please subscribe to Mineral Magic Cosmetics' youtube channel HERE

I will randomly choose 3 but those who have more creative or interesting reasons for wanting to win and ways of spreading the word will get the higher prizes.

I would like to win because I've been reading your blog for a few months now. your blog caught my attention cause of your passion for makeup, modeling and cute stuff. I found your blog through your youtube vide (the one with the double eyelid tape). I used your tips on double eyelid tape and went to cvs to buy the nexcare bandaid tape thing. hehe (thank you !) I just started collecting makeup and i think it would be wonderful to try mineral makeup for the first time. I'm a student so i dont have much money to buy makeup.Also i'll be going to lots of school dance and prom since its my senior year. the makeup will be wonderful to try (:julie(:

i'd love to win 'cause i don't know the first thing about mineral makeup but my friends keep telling me to try it D: and an instructional DVD wouldn't hurt, hahaha. plus i'm trying to find some HG brushes too (: and seeing as you're giving them away, they must be great~ and i love your style (makeup, clothes, etc)!

I'd love to win because I suck at applying eyeshadow and foundation without good quality brushes. I believe I can make it work even if I don't have overly expensive eyeshadows if I just have the right tools.

I'd like to win because you're such an awesome person! ^_~ Lol..And I think Mineral Makeup is so healthy for our skin. I'm prone to acne and have oily skin, so I stay out of make-up that can clog up my pores and cause me to break out more because of all the extra gunk such as perfume used in most make-up. I'm also very poor and definitely broke at the moment, so I'm hoping to be one of your lucky winners and gain myself some of these amazing products. I don't put on a lot of make-up so they'll definitely last me for a while, and I'd have you to thank for!

I would love to win because I've never tried Mineral Makeup before. Because I'm too broke and hesitant on buying something I haven't tried before, I don't buy it. So getting Mineral Magic Eyeshadows will probably want to buy some, from my experiences and your's as well.

i would love to win because i absolutely LOVE mineral makeup!! & i wear them on a daily basis. i think its the best makeup for your skin becausae its all natural and eco friendly! less harsh on your skin. im currently using maybellines mineral power line, and i love it. id like to try other kinds of mineral brand products as well and these brushes look great for mineral makeup =]

MMU and me are acquaintances and I'd love for us to be best friends. I was just introduced to MMU through my beauty bloggers who use them a lot. I was really just interested in them in general but its hard to find someone who sells it in my city. I once tried ordering some MMU samples thru ebay but it turned out that the shipping was even more expensive than the sample packs I ordered :(

1. This is such a generous giveaway! I don't have any of these products and am dying for those brushes. And I am a huge mineral makeup lover!2. Officially follow the blog:)3. Twtrheather4. http://twitter.com/twtrheather/status/33849645995. Heather T. xemailheather@gmail.com

Hara Jen:) This is my first time partcipating a blog giveaway so if i typed something wrong please forgive me!

1. Comment in this post and tell me why you'd like to win1A. First of all, I would like to say a huge Thank You to you for your kindness to have a giveaway for everyone, I really appreciate ^^

I would like to win because for the past few months I've been watching many make-up vidoes and I really have learnt a lot from them. I wish I can win my very first brushes, make-up products and others. (btw I've watched all your videos on youtube please do more:D) The thing is I don't have the courage to go to cosmetics stores in the mall or even drugstores because I feel I don't belong to one of those people, I am shy to go to the make-up section and take a good look at them, I just give up and leave the drugstore. Also, my mum is not a shopping person so she never went or bought any make-up product, and I never had a chance to try them out. I wish I could win this giveaway so I am able to have fun with them and learn more about make-up! If I win, I will be really thankful! =)

2. Offcially follow the blog2A. Okay! Your blog will be the first blog that I am following! :P

Hey Jen, since I posted my entry ahead of time before you added the request for the Youtube channel to Mineral Magic cosmetics, I went ahead and added the channel as of now <3. Hope that's okay, I didn't want to copy and paste my entry again as it might sound unfair to the other gals. <3 Aika YT: Xianyei

Hey Jen,I wanna win because I love makeup! I have my own channel on youtube, where I try different looks... but my looks are kinda limited because I don't have that many brushes or eye products. I do own the coastal scents 88 palette, but it's not the shimmer one... so I really want to have some shimmer colors to play around with.

I've never tried mineral makeup before, so I'd love to win this. I also think the instructional DVD sounds like it was meant for me, since I need directions for makeup. That's how I found your youtube channel in the first place. I was looking for someone to help me with application tips.

I follow your blog and twitter.

Oh, and I subscribed to Mineral Magic's channel on YT: my name is poley888.

Hello, [2] I started following just now [although...I don't understand following much...I just bookmark pages...][3] I don't have a twitter since I don't really...understand much about that site...But I hope the fact that I'm a youtube subscriber makes up for that.Should I add you on facebook instead?

http://www.facebook.com/note.php?created&&suggest&note_id=126122617610#/mooer?ref=profileI don't know if you can see either of these. I can screen cap it later if you want...

[5 on bottom; 6 done]

[1] I would like to win because...honestly, I don't know much about make up or how to apply it either. I'm already 20 years old and I'm still new towards make up. Even my 12 year old cousin seems to have more experience than me.I guess you could say I was raised really really really...REALLY old fashioned that I've barely used make up. I even waxed my legs for and event for the first time last saturday! Believe it or not, I never shaved my legs prior...EVER... I've never gotten used to make up since it would always fade off me since I didn't know how to apply it. And also, I'm very wary about chemicals and such, so I try not to use make up. The DVD that's included on each prize would help greatly!I'm sure you've experienced it before as I have, being a college student, I don't have any extra money to spend on make up either. Clothes can easily be bought anywhere and altered. Hair can be fixed with simple product and a pair of scissors [I do my own..]. But make up, I've found to believe, is not exactly something that one can easily cheap out on...and when you have no clue what your doing, it's even worse. I have a stash of make up that I wasted money on in the past, which didn't go well for me and is now just sitting there...rotting.....

To add to my reason, one of my cousins will be getting married next October, and since I'm going to be one of the bridesmaids, it was a slap on the face to get my act together. So honestly, any of the prizes would really help me greatly! And I would very much appreciate it if I would win. That's actually the reason why I was able to stumble into your youtube account and blog a few weeks ago, was to learn more about make up.

Sorry it's so long...I just didn't want to take any chances...

Thank you and Mineral Magic Cosmetics for this opportunity!Ashley Uyemail: jaganshi_hiei17@yahoo.com

hi jen :) Reading your blog has taught me so much more than I need to know about makeup! not only do I only learn great fashion, bridal, and makeup tips, but I really appreciate the hard work you do to make your tutorials. (especially the video ones!) These are only a few reasons I could use for your great giveaway you made for us. I also am quite interested in the items you have for this Mineral Magic Giveaway. I've never really used mineral types of makeup, but it has always fascinated me and I'm curious to try it out! I don't have the shades you have up for the giveaway, and I am tempted to try any of those. (they all are gorgeous)I could really use your tips and advice on applying this makeup as well as the instructional video. :)

1. I would love to win this giveaway because I have been looking for cosmetic products that are cruelty-free and made naturally without synthetic ingredients. I have a couple of past posts addressed on these issues in my blog. The links are here:

I would like to win because I love makeup as you can see in my blog. I spend lot of hours watching beauty videos and reading beauty blogs like yours. The instructional cd looks very interesting. I haven`t used mineral make up yet.

I have posted about your giveaway here: http://conbdebelleza.blogspot.com/2009/08/mas-sorteos.html (you can use the Google traductor button on the right to traduce it).

1. I'd love to win this giveaway because 1) I never won a giveaway before, 2) I'd love to have some new utensils in my makeup bag, and 3) I want to try MMC! Haha no special reason really, just those typical reasons that everyone has.

First, I don't believe in make-up even though I own a lot... I rarely use much of it. Second, I don't believe ANY make-up on the majority of the skin is good for you (I'm okay with eyes and lips and a bit of cheek) because I think it clogs up your pores! But... I came across your youtube videos and have been following your blog because I love LOVEEEE that you explain how to do asian make-up (albeit I still think the foundation and concealer is too much) and I love telling white friends why Asians are so obsessed with the double eyelid fold. I would never pay money for these cosmetics so I thought I'd give it a try by posting a comment.

I've already mentioned to you that I sometimes have terrible skin that just won't calm down when I'm especially stressed about something (gr...school...). & I've been using some thick and heavy makeup to cover up the pores and marks left behind after the initial flare up. I'm pretty sure all that thick and heavy make up is definitely not good for me, but I haven't found a better alternative yet! & I'm thinking of buying the powder after I have a set of really nice brushes like the ones in this Giveaway! I would also like to get my hands on the "Mineral Makeup 101 instructional CD" because up till now, I've just been using make up that's advertised to be able to conceal and other function with no regards to the harm it might be doing to my skin. So I'm hoping that with the CD, I can protect my skin better than I had been doing!

First of all, I have religiously followed your blog like a bible for 4-5 months ever since I have been looking for a makeup artist for my oncoming wedding in 2 months. I never knew how to apply makeup. I have monolids so I was that Korean girl that had the "overdrawn" eyeliner. Like you said, it's very noticeable. I tried using eye glue and even used to use eye tape but it was very noticeable b/c I didn't know how to apply it, until I FOUND YOUR WEBSITE! You just don't know how much stuff I bought since I found your blog because I never used to buy makeup. I found a new interest now, MAKEUP! I also bought the Airflash by Dior just like you recommended, and I love it! So, I really want to thank you so much for preparing me to look pretty for my oncoming wedding =)

1. I would really like to win because (to tell you the truth) I want those brushes! I only have a 5 set brush set from Sephora that I got as a gift, but I don't have all the brushes that I need. Especially to apply my Airflash..Also, I haven't tried mineral eyeshadow before so I would love to try them. 2. Officially follow the blog ~ religiously~3. Following frmheadtotoe on Twitter. Didn't have a twitter account, but just got it.. twitter: youngnanh4. Post about this giveawayhttp://www.facebook.com/home.php#/profile.php?id=775687597&ref=name&v=app_23098697725.

I would love to win because my blog is growing more and more everyday, I´ve got a few followers but I´ve got tons more of subscribers (I use Feedburner) and they´re always asking me to please make a review of a good mineral make up brand! But I haven´t found any at the moment, so would love to make one from your giveaway! I´m following you on Twitter, my username in Twitter is jennydelc.

1. Hi, its me again. The girl who recently paid a visit to her dear dermatologist and is now suffering from the crappiest, flakiest, more blemishes than ever skin from the meds and is slowly turning into The Mummy Returns with chicken pox each passing day T____T

So I checked out water-based makeup as rec by the doc but the prices are way out of my price range I'll be kicked out of my college if I ever thought to use my financial aid money for it lol. So I am left with mineral makeup and discover that I once purchased a jar of mineral foundation a year back so yay I have something to use now :D Only, I don't have any MINERAL eyeshadows or brushes to use for either products *sadface

And this is where your amazing lifesaving giveaway comes in :DDD

Why I'd like to win? So I can go to classes or outings looking decent and not like something the cat scratched her way through. Which is enough to make me seriously consider becoming a hermit until my face clears up. I never knew it'll be THIS bad really T_________T

Plus the brushes!!!! I am lacking in brushes because I am your typical struggling college student so uhm my collection of brushes is pitiful and makes following your tutorials a little hard at times. So yes, I'll love the brushes too! Am lusting after the Kabuki brush <3

2. I am a follower of you blog. Obviously :D

3. Followed you on Twitter now too. This is mine: http://twitter.com/hanahime

4. Posted about your giveaway here! (http://hana-hime.blogspot.com/2009/09/mineral-magic-cosmetics-giveaway.html) Sorry if its uhm a little long. I have no idea how this is done and thought maybe I should give a little intro first? >.<

5. Ahaha my real name is Hannah Sim. My email is hannahime [at] gmail [dot] com. Yes, apparently I used to obsessed being a princess (hime) when I was younger *buries head in ground*

6. Subscribed!

Ok I think this is just about it. Now I shall permanently cross my fingers and hope I can change my fate of luck this time XD

I would LOVE to win, first off, because I've never won anything before. I'd also like to win because I've dreamed of being a makeup artist since middle school, but I never got an allowance to buy makeup. Right now I only have a tiny sample of mineral foundation, a half-empty pot of eyeliner (no eyeliner brush to put on said eyeliner), and minty lipgloss. I'm not exaggerating! Whatever happens, whether I win or not, I think it's great that you're doing this!

Let's see why I want to win.... Guess lots of different reasons. I have been a tomboy for a great part of my life. I've dabbled and worn makeup to feel girly from time to time, but now at 25, a mom, and just wanting to feel like a woman again I need to make changes. I've always loved wearing makeup, but honestly I lack any good knowledge, technique, and advice to applying and blending.

I've always done bare minimum because I am always so unsure what I am doing. Through your tutorials I have fallen in love with eye makeup. I've finally been able to correct the 2 weird creases on my left eye because I learned about eye tapes through you.

I really want to win because I need a confidence booster. I'm definitely not the girl I was when I was 17. I got stretch marks in weird places that make me feel socially awkward. And makeup has given me the courage to feel confident about the way I look to the world. Plus there's an instructional CD, instructions are great! lol.

I am now following your blog, don't know why I never did it sooner.I also follow you on twitter.mine is twitter.com/missdjm

firstly, want to thank u Jen for this contest! this spurs more girls who wants to be either more beautiful or to bring out a style within us, even to bring out our moods!

excited to see the brushes as one of the giveaways coz brushes are good investment and also essential to apply powders better on the skin. sometimes people complain about the blushers or the colors not pigmented but the brushes do the trick!

i started my makeup from ur bloggie and learnt that there is so much to it! and also gotten quite a few when i read about discounts in ur blog.. if not they could be causing a big hole to our pockets! so i hope to win this and add to my new collection! hee

My sister found your site and thought i would love reading your blog. she knew i been searching for someone i can learn from and better my makeup skills... my dreams is to have my own bridalshop with a salon... doing makeup was my childhood dream...some how as i grew up i lost that thrive for it... i been a hair stylist for almost 4 yrs... and just recently i been inspired by makeup once again.... i want to win this giveway bc i feel like these products may help me find my childhood dreams of being a makeup artist and make people looking and feeling beautiful =]

About me

Hi, I'm Jen! I've been blogging and making youtube videos since 2008 and have loved encouraging others to feel beautiful in their own skin ever since. I hope you enjoy my beauty tips and reviews, style inspiration, and a bit of my life as a wife and mother!
